Answer:

x should equal three

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 1) - 8 = 5x(2 - 4)

5x+1-8=5x-4

5x-7=5x-4

+7 +7

5x= 5x +3

÷ 5 ÷5

×=3

5(x + 1) - 8 = 5x(2-4)
5x + 5 - 8 = 10x - 20x
5x - 3 = -10x
= 5x - 5x - 3 = -10x - 5x
= -3 = -15x
= -3/-15 = -15x/-15
= 0.2 = X
So, in conclusion, X is equal to 0.2
